Accessibility
-
Header does not appear to contain a skip link.
The site is primarily text; however, the images that are present (front pages, engravings, etc.) contain alternative descriptions. There is one exception: the image of Milton on the home page.
The site has a basic black and white color scheme for the most part but uses dark red/brown for the header bar and for hyperlinks.
The font is large and readable, but it is also a serif font which may be difficult for certain people to read.
